Absence of Covid Protocol

Fear and anxiety in the minds of the people due to the absence of COVID protocols in the State. Goa was amongst the first few States in the country to be declared as COVID free, however, due to the lack of restrictions on outsiders entering the State, despite foresight of its repercussions, Goa was stripped of its ‘Green Zone’ title. Once again, on the arrival of the second wave, the State Government stands unguarded welcoming outsiders. Our neighbouring states like Maharashtra have imposed strict COVID testing protocol on arrival to prohibit all possible suspects from entering the State. The State government needs to take similar steps at this preliminary stage to prevent community transmission of the virus. The steps Government proposes to take in this regard

Reg Govt Employees

SHRI ROHAN KHAUNTE, MLA, made a mention about the fear and anxiety in the minds of all Government employees due to the following concerns that affect their employment and benefits of employment:
1. Pendency and anomalies in the payment of arrears as per the 7th Pay Commission in various Government departments/institutions such as Sanjay School at Porvorim, RDA, GIDC etc.
2. Non-settlement of gratuity, pension and other Government benefits wherein there have been instances of the Government paying gratuity/pension amount after deducting certain amount without prior intimation, due to Government lapses, thereby causing sufferings to the widows/children of the deceased employees.
3. Non-regularization of people who are employed on temporary or contractual basis for more than 5 years, despite assurances given in the past to regularise them.
4. Issuance of notice for vacating Government police quarters, especially to single parents during these testing COVID times. Sudden displacement is not possible for people in the midst of this pandemic and unemployment in the State, therefore, certain exceptions should be considered on humanitarian grounds.
5. Pending increase in the ceiling limit of Rs.3.5 lakhs on appointments made on compassionate grounds vide Notification dated 1/12/2015 The steps the Government intends to take in this regard.

Increase in the stamp duty

Shri Rohan Khaunte, MLA, made a mention as regards thefear and anxiety in the minds of the people, due to the sudden increase in the stamp duty of conveyance deeds, especially for registration of housing societies. Vide notification dated 17/06/2021 published in the Official Gazette, the stamp duty on registration fee of Conveyance Deed was hiked from 1.5% to 3%. This has raised concerns amongst the residents of most housing societies who have already paid stamp duty to builders prior to this Notification. Paying another 1.5% would not only be unfair to them but would cast a substantial financial burden on people amidst this pandemic. A capping or date of prospective implementation should be set, without affecting the interests of those who have paid their stamp duty fee. This would relieve people from the additional burden of paying double stamp duty during this Covid pandemic. The steps Government proposes to take in this regard. “

Money on Social Security Scheme

SHRI ROHAN KHAUNTE, MLA made a mention about fear and anxiety in the minds of senior citizens, women of the State due to the pendency of money to be disbursed under vital schemes like Dayanand Social Security Scheme, Griha Aadhar Scheme and the Ladli Lakshmi Scheme respectively. Due to the pandemic, people have faced unemployment crisis, increase in the price of essential commodities and other similar hardships. Senior citizens who are dependent on money which comes from the Dayanand Social Security Scheme are also in a helpless situation. The Griha Aadhar Scheme disbursement hasn’t taken place for the existing beneficiaries from April 2021 till date. Additionally, from 2016 till date, the applications under Griha Aadhar are yet to be sanctioned. The applications under Ladli Lakshmi are also pending disbursement from 2017 till date. Moreover, the disbursement under Dayanand Social Security Scheme for the existing beneficiaries is pending from June 2021 till date and those pending sanction is awaited from 2019 till date. The people who avail benefits under the Scheme come from financially challenging backgrounds and therefore rely on these benefits. The steps Government proposes to take in this regard.

“fear and anxiety in the minds of the people of Porvorim due to the haphazard planning of the area owing to the increasing number of Government, commercial and residential complexes. Porvorim is categorized under ‘urban’ status, however, the constituency still faces major water, electricity, garbage and sewerage problems. Therefore, it is imperative to commission the Water Treatment Plant so as to ease out the water related problems of the area. In addition, the Government needs to revisit its ‘Har Ghar Nal’ concept considering many parts of the State still lack proper water supply. The people of Porvorim are also concerned about the electrical issues in the area. The street light poles are not having LED fittings due to shortage of the same. This results in areas with dark spots, frequent accidents and security issues. Furthermore, there have been concerns on the pendency of the Sewerage Treatment Plant wherein the land for setting up the plant is still pending clearance. Similarly other vital projects of the Constituency such as the Housing Board market, Multipurpose Panchayat ground, proposed fire station, proposed Science Park, PDA Garden Tourism Art park also needs to be made operational. The steps Government proposes to take in this regard.”
